As some of you know I will soon be headed on a fun filled government paid site seeing tour of one of the ruggedest counties in the world, aka getting deployed to Afghanistan.
Along the way I will be attached to a small element of agricultural specialist helping the Afghans get some things figured out on the Agribusiness side of things.
We have considered needing a fairly good quality camera to record our trip and projects along the way. So I thought I would turn to the experts.
The area is going to be very dusty, and transport will be in an already overly stuffed HMWVV that will be bouncing around over some of the worst roads you could imagine. So something large and delicate won't probably work. And a large Pelican case probably won't fit although something of moderate size, say backpack size or smaller, wouldn't be a big deal.
It would need to be easy to use, although I don't think that will be a problem with most everything having point and shoot modes. We're spending Uncle Sam's dollars so cost isn't too much of a consideration. Operating for a 10 day mission away from the FOB though needs to be a major consideration.
Anyways, any suggestions or ideas would be most appreciated.
